Click tracking with Google Tag Manager

Question

I'm new to GTM, coming from GA.

In GA, if I wanted to track clicks to a given element, I would place that code in an onclick event.

How would one accomplish this with a GTM tag?

Suppose I have:

<div id="click_me" >
    ** hot new content **
</div>

I would like to create a tag to track every time this element is clicked.

I have already set up the GTM container on my site, along with GA, and connected the two with a "Universal Analytics" tag, all of which seems to be correctly configured like so..

Where do I go from here?

Your trigger would be based on the ID that is clicked and could look something like this:
